Detect and track Claude Code sessions running in the VS Code extension panel (WebSocket transport, no terminal). These produce JSONL transcripts like terminal sessions but have no associated Terminal object. Changes: - Make terminalRef optional, add isExternal flag to AgentState - Add external session scanning (5s interval) and stale cleanup (5min timeout) - Persist/restore external agents across reloads - Guard terminal-specific code paths (focus, close, /clear reassignment) - Recognize renamed 'Agent' tool alongside 'Task' for sub-agents Known limitation: external sessions rely on JSONL file mtime for stale detection (no close event available), so agents linger up to 5 minutes after the extension panel session ends. Supersedes pablodelucca#76 and pablodelucca#77.
